Rise Against – Rumors Of My Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated (Guitar)

    C#m             F#m     A 
So please don't ask me how

            B                  C#m
I ended up at my wits end

       F#m       A
And breaking down

B                      C#m                 F#m
Pages torn from books we never read,

                  A                       B
Cause we're plugged into this grid.

        C#m                    F#m
Don't pull this plug right now,

                   A                  B
Or then we'd really have to live.

            A                    F#m
When I die, will they remember not

            A                 F#m
What I did, but what I haven't done?

                A                  F#m
It's not the end that I fear with each breath

     A                              B
It's life that scares me to death.

               E
When we built these dreams on sand

               B
How they all slipped through our hands

C#m                   A
This might be our only chance

                     E
Let's take this one day at a time

                  B
I'll hold your hand if you hold mine

      C#m                           A
The time that we kill keeps us alive.

C#m                   F#m      A
Your words won't save me now.

              B                      C#m        F#m       A
I'm at the edge feeling the sweat drip from my brow.

          B               C#m                   F#m
"Get a grip on yourself" is what they say,

         A               B
Every hour, every day.

C#m                F#m
Hands over my ears,

             A                           B
I've been screaming all these years!

            A                    F#m
When I die, will they remember not

            A                 F#m
What I did, but what I haven't done?

                A                  F#m
It's not the end that I fear with each breath

     A                              B
It's life that scares me to death.

               E
When we built these dreams on sand

               B
How they all slipped through our hands

C#m                   A
This might be our only chance

                     E
Let's take this one day at a time

                  B
I'll hold your hand if you hold mine

      C#m                           A
The time that we kill keeps us alive.

 F#m               E F#m _ 
        We came in search of answers!

 E D _         A B _             E
       We left empty handed again!

F#m _             E F#m _
        Shots fired into the sky...

E D _ 
      Are now returning!

A B _                     E
      Where the fuck will you hide?

F#m _                          E      F#m _ 
Hiding from the laughter in the closets of our lives,

E D _                                             A        E _
   But the door hinges are squeaking letting in thin shards of light.

E F#m _                           
    And now a hand's extending outward,

E F#m _
   Quiet comfort they invite,

E D _ 
   Do we dare take what they offer?

A E _
    Do we step into the light?

            A                    F#m
When I die, will they remember not

            A                 F#m
What I did, but what I haven't done?

                A                  F#m
It's not the end that I fear with each breath

     A                              B
It's life that scares me to death.

               E

               B
How they all slipped through our hands

C#m                   A

                     E
Let's take this one day at a time

                  B

      C#m                           A
